Leading VR developer CEEK has unveiled a partnership with Draper University, founded by renowned bitcoin investor Tim Draper. The two organizations have joined forces to create The House of CEEK, the world’s virtual reality hacker house.

The CEEK house will be used to accelerate development of the CEEK Metaverse, with Draper University graduates vying to create destinations within the virtual realm. A prize pot of $160K in cash, tokens, and virtual land has been established to incentivize participation.

Tim Draper said: “The Metaverse has the ability to completely change entertainment and education as we know it. At Draper University we are incredibly excited to partner with CEEK to both support their growth, with a first-of-its-kind VR Builder Hacker House and to launch our virtual campus, adding a new dimension to entrepreneurial education.”

CEEK CEO Mary Spio added: 

“We are excited to partner with Draper University for the ability to tap into their network and expertise in accelerating blockchain ecosystems. The novelty of creating a hacker house style program for builders on campus with a truly vibrant cohort just made sense. In addition to building entertainment properties in the metaverse, we are excited about how learning experiences will take shape.”

Set to run starting from October 17, the CEEK Virtual Hacker House will attract some of the best emerging talents in the VR and AR development sphere. Applications for the novel hackathon are now open atwww.draperuniversity.com/ceek
